Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1299 - 558: On Men’s Muscle Memory_3

Upon hearing Bae Juhyun mention wanting to take a bath, Liu Xin'an's mind stirred. He scrunched his nose slightly and then displayed a disdainful expression.

"I smell too; I'll go take one myself."

What is this man really up to? Bae Juhyun couldn't be more aware.

She rolled her eyes irritably, her fair little finger pointing toward the clock nearby, whose hands were already pointing at the number 1.

"It's 1 o'clock now, don't mess around; I have to go to the company for filming tomorrow."

Their results were so good that S-M wouldn't miss this opportunity to increase their exposure, right?

During dinner, they had already received a message from Seong Taekyon, saying there would be a livestream at the company later.

The software for the livestream is Vlive, and then in the evening, it will be streamed on Bilibili once more.

It might be aired simultaneously on both platforms, but Bae Juhyun isn't very clear about the specifics. Anyway, they just need to arrive on time and prepare a beautiful makeup look, showing their most beautiful side to the fans.

"What's tomorrow's matter have to do with today?"

Liu Xin'an acted shamelessly, insisting on eating the meat first no matter what.

He was already struggling to stand it while changing clothes, and now that she's awake, isn't it fair for him to collect some compensation?

"Stop it, it is today. I have to head over in the morning. I'm going to take a bath and then continue my sleep; I'm tired."

As she spoke, Bae Juhyun yawned lazily, her charming demeanor resembling an arrogant cat, reminding Liu Xin'an of his own Yuan Xiao.

"I don't feel at ease with you alone in the bathroom."

"...Liu Xin'an!"

Cats cannot be teased heedlessly.

Realizing Bae Juhyun was upset, Liu Xin'an smiled awkwardly and obediently lay back, tucking himself with the quilt.

This obedient gesture, instead, made Bae Juhyun laugh.

"If you're tired, just sleep early, don't wait for me."

"Go have your bath, if you're not out in an hour, I'll come grab you."

"Hmph."

Leaving with a light hum that stirred one's imagination, Bae Juhyun's slender figure disappeared from Liu Xin'an's sight.

The room became quiet again, causing Liu Xin'an's eyelids to start drooping.

It wasn't clear how much time had passed, but the soft sensation entering his arms reawakened Liu Xin'an's spirit. Yet soon, Bae Juhyun's gentle voice blurred his consciousness again.

"Sleep."

"Mm..."

Liu Xin'an instinctively responded and very naturally held her in his arms.

"...Dog man, even while asleep you don't forget to put your hand here!"

This was Liu Xin'an's last memory before he completely lost consciousness.

That expression, dog man... surely wasn't about him, right?

———

"Knock, knock"

This was a knock Liu Xin'an had anticipated.

Last night, Kang Seulgi and her friends stayed over at Bae Juhyun's house. So, for breakfast, these ladies surely wouldn't leave without it.

Luckily the house was stocked with enough ingredients, and after learning they'd come over yesterday, he even used an app to buy some more stuff online, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to feed these five women this morning.

While calling out "Coming, coming," Liu Xin'an made his way to the door to let the early-rising Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan in.

"Morning, Xin'an oppa."

"Morning."

"Morning, you two got up really early."

"Seungwan and I live quite healthily."

Kang Seulgi responded casually, not treating herself as an outsider.

She often helped Liu Xin'an with sneaky tasks, their relationship was solid; she wouldn't dream of seeing herself as an outsider.

Son Seungwan was the same.

"Are you guys doing a livestream today?"

"Yes, there's a fan-oriented livestream. It seems the public opinion further fermented last night, but now the hype feels somewhat unreal."

Answering Kang Seulgi, her beautiful eyebrows knitted tightly.

Initially, everyone was excited by their good results, but as time went by, the unabated hype made them gradually feel uneasy.

If it were toward them, Red Velvet, logically speaking, the public would have started calming down by now and shouldn't be buying their hype during this period.

Moreover, online evaluations are starting to escalate from Red Velvet's group show toward S-M's management style. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

In other words, it seems the target is not them, but their company.

This unusual feeling made both women uneasy.

"Unreal?"

"Hmm... It's like someone deliberately buys hype and then praises us to death."

"Exactly, I noticed it too. It's a bit over-the-top, and also..." Son Seungwan hesitated halfway but eventually blurted out straightforwardly, "it seems like they want to bind us with China."

This is good news for Chinese fans.

But for their Korean fans at home... it's definitely not good news.

Despite this being a unique year, young people from both countries still harbor great dislike for each other.

This has always been a problem they've intentionally avoided, but looking at the current environment, it seems no longer avoidable.

And their stance seems to represent S-M's stance.

Originally an ecstatic moment now strangely became a hot potato.

Cannot eat it, cannot discard it.

Liu Xin'an didn't quite perceive this aspect. After freezing for a moment, his expression turned more serious.

"What's going on?"

"Hard to say clearly, but it feels unrelated to us, the target seems to be our company."

Son Seungwan thoughtfully analyzed, while hearing this, Liu Xin'an's expression instead softened.

"Ah, as long as it's unrelated to you."

"...If the company encounters trouble, we'll also suffer the consequences!"

"No biggie, if needed, just come over to JYP, I bet Uncle would be delighted to welcome you."

The two fell speechless, but soon, a certain Kang surname girl defected.

"I'm in!"

"Hey, you're totally just going for the organic cafeteria!"

"Right, I'm dying to try it!"
